Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plasmalogens are a type of phospholipid found in many tissues throughout the body. Their biosynthesis involves several components, but glycerol is not directly used in their synthesis. Instead, the process includes CDP-ethanolamine (for the head group), fatty acyl-CoA (for the fatty acid component), NADPH and NADH (as reducing agents), and long-chain alcohols (which differentiate plasmalogens from other phospholipids by being incorporated into the vinyl ether bond at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone).
